Allen-Bradley 1794-IT8 FLEX I/O Thermocouple Input Module
FLEX I/O thermocouple input module, 8 point, 24V DC power, thermocouple/mV input, 0…55 °C
Lifecycle Status: Active Mature
The Allen-Bradley 1794-IT8 FLEX I/O module is a thermocouple and millivolt input module for distributed temperature measurement in industrial automation systems. It is designed for FLEX I/O architectures where compact remote I/O is required for process skids, machine temperature monitoring, and panel-based control systems.
Lifecycle Status: Active Mature
- FLEX I/O input module
- 8-point thermocouple input module
- Supports thermocouple and millivolt input measurement
- 24V DC power
- Operating temperature: 0…55 °C (32…131 °F)
- Uses FLEX I/O terminal base wiring platform
- Cold junction compensators included for thermocouple mode
This module is suited for applications that need distributed temperature acquisition close to field devices while reducing long sensor wiring runs back to the main control cabinet. It can be used in machine control and process monitoring systems where thermocouple signals must be integrated into a FLEX I/O networked I/O layout.
Within a FLEX I/O installation, the 1794-IT8 can be applied for heater zones, ovens, thermal process sections, packaging equipment, and general industrial temperature monitoring. Its thermocouple and millivolt input capability supports flexible integration into control architectures that use remote I/O for modular machine design.
